Chen Ye, a history student at Jiangdu University, was brought to the late Qing Dynasty in 1855 in a mysterious wooden box on the rainy night when he was betrayed by his girlfriend.
There are opium-smoking Eight Banners soldiers, national gates that cannot be knocked open, and endless flames of war. Here is the ambition of Yehenala Yuzhen, the stern sword, the chess game of Prince Gong, and the forty million pairs of eyes that are numb and longing.
Chen Ye had nothing—except for a brain full of modern knowledge and a sarcastic comment about "What's the point of studying history?"
He said to Yuzhen: "After the matter is completed, I only want Guangdong and Guangxi."
During the rainy night coup, he helped her youngest son ascend the throne; during the military training in troubled times, he forged new guns. When the gunboats of the great powers came again, this time-traveler abandoned by the times stood in front of the Governor's Palace of Guangdong and Guangxi and uttered the arrogant words he had been waiting for for a hundred years -
"The enemy can go, and so can I. Great powers, are you ready?"
